Puck crashing and screen going black
hi
i have had nothing but trouble with my puck - it's turning off after around 30 minutes with the screen going black and then nothing.
i have followed every single help issue i could see and i have done a soft reset - still the same. i have done a full factory reset - still the same.
i have 'chatted' to an advisor who wanted me to go through all the trouble shooting all over again and send more pictures to them of my set up - these were sent in April of this year and as they refused to give me a replacement puck i cancelled my multi-room so im now using the puck that was in the bedroom. i can't belive that this is now faulty. i have done the full turn off and hold the button and plug in to force a software update and still nothing is different. it is showing full wifi signal and isn't hot, just a bit warm.
i am at my wits end as they now want me to run if off an ethernet cable - which when i have a disabled mother aged 89 living here and the way the room is set up for her and her walking aid a cable isn't an option.
i have been a customer with sky for over 16 years and the hoops you have to jump through to prove you can't watch what you pay for is awful customer service.
help - all i want is a puck that works

Hi
I answered the message but have heard nothing since.
Over 10 times today the puck went off to a black screen and rebooted itself. Time to cancel and get a reliable service
